April 28, 2026 – Vancouver, British Columbia – Kodiak Copper Corp. (the “Company” or “Kodiak”) (TSX-V: KDK, OTCQX: KDKCF, Frankfurt: 5DD1) today reports that the Company has commenced its fully-funded 2026 exploration program at its 100% owned MPD copper-gold porphyry project in southern British Columbia. The program will include drilling aimed at expanding the recently completed initial Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”), and field investigations to advance multiple exploration targets with the potential for new discoveries.
The 2026 field program will involve core drilling, 3D induced polarization (IP) and audio- magnetotelluric (AMT) geophysical surveying, geological mapping and prospecting. Core drilling will commence at the Ketchan deposit, which has not previously been drilled by Kodiak. The 2026 drill program is anticipated to total 6,500 metres, with scope for expansion as the program progresses. Further exploration activities will focus on target evaluation and prioritisation in support of drill planning, on both the known deposits and prospective exploration targets of interest. Examples of priority areas, based on the current data available, are included below.
